Nick Klein’s Post

LinkedIn friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers, I’ve decided to lace up my running shoes again this month, embrace the sweat, and run 100 miles in July for a cause close to my heart: Cancer Research UK (CRUK), with a specific focus on early diagnosis as in most cases the earlier we diagnose Cancer, the greater our chance of beating it. Coming up to the end of week two, I'm on 29 miles, but I'll be past 50 by the end of the week and on track to hit 100 and beyond! I'm proud to say that I'm not doing this challenge alone. I'm joined by some absolute legends from work: Rob Winter, Sophie Andrews, Catherine Gwilliam, Ben Leslie, Garry Hughes, Nick Loxton & Olly Simpson. Why 100 miles? Because running 101 seemed excessive...... My Goal? To raise £500. That's £5 from 100 people or £10 from 50 people, or, well, you get the idea. Every penny counts, and your support, as always, keeps me going and raises funds for this worthy cause. How Can You Help? Donate: Any amount, big or small, will make a huge difference. Even the cost of a coffee could be a step towards beating cancer. Share: Spread the word like you’re sharing the latest viral cat video. The more people who know, the more we can raise! Join me on this journey and make these 100 miles count! Together, we can do our bit to raise money that could be life-changing to so many. Please donate now and track my sweaty journey here: https://lnkd.in/eiC_rhiP Thank you from the bottom of my soon-to-be-tired feet. 🙏 #CancerResearchUK #100MilesInJuly #EarlyDiagnosis #RunningForACause #HelpMeOutrunCancer #CRUK #Fundraising

I've never done this before on here; I'm not even sure if it is the done thing, but here goes... From a young age, men are taught to follow certain "man rules" that can be pretty tough to live up to. It's like we're expected to be superheroes, always strong, competitive, and emotionless (except for anger). We're not supposed to do anything considered "feminine," and we're definitely not supposed to show any weakness. The problem is that all these expectations can be pretty damaging. It can be hard for men to ask for help or admit that they're struggling, and that can lead to serious health issues down the road. I've seen too many guys in my family and among my friends who have suffered because they didn't get help soon enough, whether it's for prostate cancer or, like me, other prostate-related issues. That's why I'm participating in the March the Month, 11,000 steps per day, challenge with Prostate Cancer UK. I'm hoping to raise funds for this amazing charity (https://lnkd.in/eyJFkTSu), but more importantly, I want to raise awareness about prostate health and the importance of getting help early. There are so many prostate-related issues that people don't really talk about, like prostatitis and Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome - which is my personal prostate bugbear. It's time to change that. Thanks for reading, and I am now off to today's 11,000 steps - only another 300,000 to go!

And here's the video

Pearce’s story is a touching reminder of the resilience that so many cancer survivors exhibit, and it’s heartwarming to see her finally get the chance to ring the bell. This collaboration between Stand Up To Cancer and American Airlines is not only helping push cancer research forward, but it's also making a real difference in the lives of individuals and families affected by this disease. At Tree of Life, we believe that supporting those touched by cancer goes beyond treatment. Our Employee Vitality and Cancer Defense programs take a holistic approach—addressing every phase of cancer, from diagnosis and treatment to survivorship and caregiving, while also promoting preventative wellness. This means combining stress management, nutrition, sleep, and exercise into a lifestyle plan that helps employees improve their quality of life. Stand Up To Cancer, thank you for continuously raising awareness and driving action. As more organizations look for ways to support their teams, how can we ensure that survivors, like Pearce, have access to the resources and lifestyle support they need to thrive both during and after their cancer journey?

#100skipsadaychallenge for #cancerresearchuk 🌟 I did it for 5 days! 🌟 Unfortunately, on Day 6, I was admitted to hospital for a day with a painful Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) crisis due to physical overexertion. I tried in various ways, but it was just too much. I haven't been able to recover properly, so I'll have to call it a day this time. But there's a positive side! 🌈 🔹 A few years ago, a similar thing happened when I started Aqua fitness. Now, I have my weekly AquaZumba class, and sometimes I even do 3 classes a week! Listen to your body and respect it. There will be better times for such challenges, and if this one isn't for me, there will be others! 🔹 I still managed to raise £54! 💷 £50 can pay for restriction enzymes, helping scientists learn more about the genes that cause cancer. Thank you to everyone who contributed with money, support, or in any other way. 🙏 Why did I do this if my focus is Sickle Cell and not cancer? 🤔 Besides losing several relatives, including my mother, to cancer, and seeing many friends battle it, there is a strong bond between SCD and cancer through medication, haematology consultants, care, and so many other aspects... Sickle cell has a long way to go, but we wouldn't be where we are without cancer research. As a patient advocate, research is essential to finding alternatives to better manage our disease, improve our quality of life, and eventually find a cure. #SickleCellAwareness #CancerResearch #PatientAdvocate #StayStrong #ListenToYourBody #ThankYou #Fundraising #ResearchMatters 🌟💪💜
